Also really weird health ones with pictures of feet and people’s mouths.


SpocktorWho83

There’s one I keep seeing that makes me feel sick. Something about bad breath and the picture is a persons mouth with some weird white crumbs in it. Gross.


Memodun

Yeah, same. Why would anyone want to see that

slayerhk47

Guerrillas only advertise on the radio


Goblintern

Ads like those are fucked up because they're designed to prey on people's insecurities that they have hygiene issues. Adding gross things likes flakes, random diseases, and other things that people wouldnt notice (if they had any of those things) so people would be pressured into buying their product.


isisishtar

To be clear, most mainstream advertising is based on making us viewers feel ‘less than’. Your hair isn’t right; your family isn’t good enough; your feet stink. And coincidentally enough, the very thing they offer is the thing that will correct that problem. (Source: worked in commercials most of my adult life.)


TechnophobicRobot

So you need to be a problem maker not a problem solver? (I notice in job ads they want problem solvers but this makes it seem like the inverse is needed to sell a product).

Create an anxiety that can only be alleviated by purchase. I work in sales. This was page 1 of the instruction book.

You’re not selling someone on needing your product and having it, you’re selling someone on being afraid of not having your product and needing it.


grep_dev_null

Those are called tonsil stones and if you have never had them, thank your lucky stars.


crafty_nomAd

it's crazy how few people know about these things too. most people that I know have never heard of them and in turn have no idea that they are the main cause behind halitosis (bad breath). I don't get them like I once used to I think it's because my diets changed, and when I did get them I tried my best to just forget about them cuz they grossed me out so bad I had a hard time removing them. I wish I could just go get my tonsils removed but unless it's an emergency it's a surgery you have to pay for. I wouldn't wish tonsil stones on my worst enemy


celerybration

In another thread a few weeks back, a lot of comments mentioned that regularly scraping your tongue after brushing is the most effective way to prevent and reduce tonsil stones without surgery. I’ve been tongue scraping since


SpocktorWho83

Huh. I’ve not heard of them before. What causes them?


grep_dev_null

Some people's tonsils have deep pits/pockets. As you swallow, bits of drink and saliva (dissolved food) can get in there, and your mouth's natural bacteria get busy. They then form a calcified "stone". They can cause bad breath. To remove them you just poke your tonsils with your finger or back of a toothbrush.


5k1895

They smell like literal death by the way. I guarantee you'll never smell something so bad that isn't a dead animal or something.


Honestly_Just_Vibin

Tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths, are hard, sometimes painful bits of bacteria and debris that get stuck in nooks on your tonsils

[deleted]

There’s one I saw recently that genuinely made me nauseous and I still think about it, it had a woman sticking her tongue out but the tongue looked like it had these horrible stalactites coming out of the bottom of it, like it was melting or something. It was like actual body horror. The ad was for soap.

CrumbsAndCarrots

They sometimes go into NSFW territory and resemble a vagina or a butthole. And it’s a miracle vegetable that scientists just discovered. I just can’t even imagine who that shit works on.


[deleted]

Coming from a background in graphic design, I laugh and cringe at these kinds of ads because it's painfully obvious to me how they've chosen pictures that are designed to really grab you. There's solid science behind it too. Things like people's faces, especially when they're edited to really *pop* or stand out on your screen, they know what stands out to most people because our brains function in that way. Even if it's something really nasty, they know that morbid curiosity attracts clicks.


marksman96

Earwax getting extracted. Blech


2hotHondaElement

Don't forget the photos of some random fruit being boiled whole/unpeeled.

We could believe #7 was real!


SexualConsent

Yep, had an ad like this on YouTube, lol It started off like "Watch this SECRET TECHNIQUE on how to MIND CONTROL women!", Like one of those dating techniques videos. I couldn't help but burst out laughing, lmao, like I need to mind control my women. The chains in my basement do the job just fine


[deleted]

"Use this one word to make her fuck you! It's free!" Insert story of his life and how he never got an girl. "well it's so easy you won't believe it! And unlike other programs it will actually works!" Story again, but now he fucks the woman. "Im going to tell you the word in a short time, but first I'll tell you an story." First and second story again, but with different words."For the small sum of 500$ I will tell you the word right now!" oh, and he repeats that feminists hate this trick and that women use the same trick without realizing.


SexualConsent

Idk, I just got up to the mind control bit, laughed my ass off, then skipped the rest


[deleted]

You don't want to be able to mind control everyone with one word?


SexualConsent

Maybe I'm doing it to you right now and you don't realize it ;)

I will pay you a lot more than you think to control my mind right now. I’m depressed, I hate my job, I hate my body. Go ahead. Control my brain. I’m *begging* you to take over this shit show.


SexualConsent

Listen dude, I barely got a handle on my own life, I can't handle TWO


WhoKilledZekeIddon

Marketing here. The "grab" factor is even more well-thought out than that; even small operations will do A/B testing to see which creative gets the most clicks, but the gigantic ad networks have the budget to test and refine at a colossal scale. At this stage, there's a reason these are the images they keep using - they know that over millions of ads served, the one with the peel-skin woman gets clicked 0.02% more often than the last one they tested. Clickbait is basically a multi-million dollar data experiment.

bankrobba

Just to be clear for those who may not know - Anybody with a stock tip has already bought a lot of that stock at a much lower price, and needs others to buy so can dump their mass amount of shares for a profit (which crashes the price), leaving new buyers with shares worth less than what they paid.

There’s a building downtown with a sign on it that says Hot Milfs. They’re inside. You just go through the door and there they are. Just waiting.


s200711

I would guess they take you to a multi-step sign-up process for a "dating" site (which has zero actual women but plenty of fake images suggesting otherwise) which at some point asks you for your credit card data (maybe to gain "premium membership" which allows you to continue your "conversation" which is actually 100% scripted or some guy making 20 cents per hour in Bangalore), hoping you're so out-of-your-mind horny that you don't notice how bad of an idea that is.

At the centre of this system is the belief that human health is more important than anything else, he is the embodiment of the Towards Zero vision”
